Can you SPEAK better than you WRITE?or can you WRITE better than you SPEAK

I used to be terribly bad at both. My English teacher will shake her head and express disbelief at my incompetence at writing. When I needed to give presentations, my face will turn red and I would endeavor not to trip over my tongue. Well, those were the dark days. Ah... to be finally free of the manacles of ridicule! ^^ So can you speak better than you write? Or can you write better than you speak? I used to be terribly bad at both. Now I am passingly adequate at both. I can't decide if I am better at one or the other. How about you? Are you more in your element when conversing with people? Or are you an artist with your quill and ink? Do share your thoughts. ;-)

I think you're good at writing because you use some words that are not common in daily conversation.

@Raj7779 At least you're already good at writing but handwriting maybe you have to try to practice more. Hehe.

I prefer writing to speaking... I will text someone over calling them any day. So, what am I better at? In terms of how comfortable I feel doing it than it is surely writing. But I am great at both.

Good but you can't stand people making grammatical errors? But I do make them sometimes because I prefer writing for the ear - which needs me to ignore some grammar rules. :P

@Raj7779 What do you mean by your question? Are you asking if I can't stand the people? Or can't stand them making the errors?

I am better at writing. When you speak, you can not rewrite and put extra stuff in and leave some stuff out. I sound like an idiot when I talk so writing is better for me.

@Raj7779 I have said some funny things, sometimes by accident and sometimes on purpose. I like to make people laugh but I don't like saying stupid things.

But if you are good enough in your language then it wouldn't be funny or with mistakes
